If you can go 1 mile & enjoy it, you can go 2 miles. Just don't go crazy at the start and be patient - you'll get there. -LBJ Absolutely correct; just pace it out. I find that when I can swim 3 miles, I can actually swim 5 also. But after the 5 mile mark, it gets iffy for a bit until used to it. Enter the race!!

And I forgot to add, how hard you decide to swim it. If you just swim to finish, it probably won't be as hard as if you decide you want to place in the top 3. Open water is just like any other event in that sense.

I think the answer depends on your current level of fitness, the yardage you are used to doing in a single workout and water conditions (chop and temperature).
